Thought I had read somewhere that was one of only a handful of 'one-off' prototypes BMC produced last season to test the water so to speak and possibly intended for production for 2014 (i.e. the season after next).

That's the best picture of it I've seen yet! Looks pretty nice. I thought it might have some form of that distinct BMC top/seat tube bracket as a shoulder mount as an added bonus but no. Hmm wonder if this frame will make it into production?

Well it's not making it to production for the 2014 season, it wasn't shown at Eurobike and isn't in the catalogue for 2014. So I'm guessing it's something rebadged. But does the UCI rule that applies to road of being available to the public within however many months apply to cross? Would that apply to a rabadged frame though? EIther way it's fitted for external and internal cables and certainly looks like your typical BMC finish on their frames - especially the SLRs

It seems like a rebadge, I feel like I've seen those lines on a bike before, but for the life of me, I can't find anything that matches online.

A few things (not sure if they make a difference):

- Does anyone else think the headtube cluster look strange? I don't know when the last was that I saw a carbon bike with such a "jointed" and angular looking cluster. I'm looking at my aluminum Javelin and it looks really similar. I'm not saying the "BMC" is aluminum though- The headtube - fork transition is not smooth at all so it makes me think that the frame and fork are sourced differently

Funny thing, I was talking to a friend who works as a sales rep for BMC here in Boston and she and a co-worker were trying to figure what his bike was too...they have no idea what it is. If it was in the pipelines for some near future release, I feel like they would be in the know.

I also saw a sweet disc BMC disc granfondo a race today. All white, black decals...pretty business looking bike.
